Turin, 29 August (LaPresse) – Israel's plan to occupy the Gaza Strip ‘will be devastating for its political and military leadership. And the enemy army will pay the price with the blood of its soldiers.’ This was stated by Abu Obeida, spokesman for the Qassam Brigades, in a post shared by Hamas on Telegram. Al Jazeera reports. The spokesman also warned that although Hamas will preserve the lives of Israeli prisoners ‘to the best of its ability,’ they face the same risks as Palestinian fighters in Gaza. Abu Obeida went on to say that the Israeli army and government ‘will bear full responsibility’ for any deaths among the prisoners.
